Spain get the job done (Spain 2 - 0 England)

As is becoming customary for "no football Thursdays" a brief review of yesterday's selections. We highlighted just the British televised live game, Spain v England, as a chance to capitalise on a potentially low scoring game. As predicted, it was a match with few chances, neither goalkeeper having to work too hard to earn their match fee. Spain ultimately showed their class and dominance and England missing the outstanding Rio Ferdinand looked uncomfortable at times with Jagielka and Upson both at fault for each of the Spanish goals. In the end, Spain were the quality footballing side and got the job done - but punters who followed this website's advice to go under 2.5 goals will be picking up their winnings today.

Tomorrow, a full look ahead to this weekend's FA Cup 5th Round action.
